Mailbox Monday

Once again, all my acquisitions are from Paperback Swap. I have just under 3500 books here in my house. In previous weeks, all you've seen are the books coming in. Sooner or later, you're going to start wondering when I'll be floating a second loan to build another floor on this 1952 ranch house. So before I list the seven books I received last week, I'll just say that seven may've come in, but nine were sent to new homes! Here's the list from last week:

--The Becket Factor by Michael David Anthony. Anthony only wrote four books before his death. This is the first in his Canterbury Cathedral mystery series.

--The Virgin of Small Plains by Nancy Pickard about murder in small town Kansas.

--Sepulchre by Kate Mosse. I really enjoyed her first book, Labyrinth, and this one also has strong female leads and dual narratives spanning centuries. This time, a deck of tarot cards is at the center of it all.

--Lonely Hearts by John Harvey. I really enjoyed Harvey's first Frank Elder mystery, Flesh & Bone, and I've heard nothing but good about his Charlie Resnick series, so I thought I'd give the first one a try.

--The Last Victim in Glen Ross by M.G. Kincaid, which is the first book in a new-to-me Scottish mystery series.

--A Dedicated Man by Peter Robinson, the second in the Inspector Banks mystery series.

--The Monkey's Raincoat by Robert Crais, the first Elvis Cole mystery.

Let's see...seven books, four of which are UK mystery series. Anyone see a pattern here?
